Chapter 2097: Eliminate the Trump Card

Based on the information obtained earlier, Ye Liuyun should now be able to face the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance in battle.

But does the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance have no Trump Card?

Ye Liuyun doesn't believe it.

So he never dares to relax; now that he can wipe out even a bit of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance's power, he will definitely not let it go.

Ye Liuyun's army soon advanced to the outskirts of Sifang City.

Before attacking Sifang City, Ye Liuyun halted his army, gave everyone enough rest, and prepared to take the city in one go.

Even if time is tight, Ye Liuyun must ensure the rest and recovery of the many Martial Cultivators.

After all, in this battle, Martial Cultivators are the main force.

The residents inside Sifang City had long since fled.

They knew powerful fighters would clash here, feared being caught up, and left early.

Now the city is empty, with only the Murong Clan Elders and disciples defending it.

Murong Changfeng, seeing the hundreds of thousands of armies surrounding on three sides, felt the onslaught and could already foresee their certain defeat in this battle.

Even without those Martial Cultivators, just using human shields, they couldn't stop Ye Liuyun's army.

The Murong Clan's only hope now is that Cao Yun Tian can reach the Spirit Clan in time.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also received a Transmission Voice from Liang Xue, who had intercepted Cao Yun Tian.

Liang Xue, leading some disciples under the pretense of going out for training, deliberately blocked the essential road to the Spirit Clan.

When Cao Yun Tian saw they were Spirit Clan disciples, he relaxed and let Liang Xue help with the report.

Liang Xue outwardly agreed, but in fact never reported.

She even incited a few disciples, arrogantly ordering Cao Yun Tian to help them hunt a ferocious beast.

The Spirit Clan disciples were even more arrogant than those of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, and Cao Yun Tian naturally couldn't stand their tone.

But he didn't want to offend the Spirit Clan, so he endured and assisted them in hunting the beast.

Liang Xue then deliberately gave the wrong direction, leading them in circles.

The Spirit Clan disciples thought Liang Xue was playing with those Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance people, so they also pretended.

By the time Cao Yun Tian realized the problem, half a day had already passed.

He was now being toyed with without concern; the delay mattered, so he immediately flared up, using his imposing pressure to threaten the Spirit Clan disciples.

Liang Xue also incited the disciples to turn against Cao Yun Tian; some Spirit Clan disciples even used a Token, unleashing a powerful attack that wounded Cao Yun Tian and others.

Cao Yun Tian could only flee, injured.

Then, after they left, he returned to the Spirit Clan.

After arriving at the Spirit Clan, he still needed to find someone to report and wait for an audience.

Liang Xue again incited those previous disciples, giving them a dark order.

After he met a foreign affairs Elder of the Spirit Clan and clarified the matter, Ye Liuyun's side had already begun the siege.

After Ye Liuyun ordered the siege, the siege Puppet Beast and Warship struck together, breaking through the city gate defenses.

The Martial Cultivators inside the city were not defending soldiers; they had essentially no countermeasures against such attacks and merely waited for close-quarters combat after the walls fell.

However, even after the city fell, Ye Liuyun did not immediately send Martial Cultivators to attack; instead, he ordered soldiers to fire arrows in succession, forcing the Murong Clan members to hide beneath the walls or within defensive Formations.

Then came another round of Warship Spirit Stone cannon bombardment.

Many of the Murong Clan disciples were killed outright in these rounds of attack.

"Clan Chief, shall we charge out and fight them?"

A disciple could no longer endure and prepared to charge out for a hard fight.

"No, going out now would have us riddled like a sieve! Hold your fire!"

Although Murong Changfeng lacked war experience, he could still gauge the ferocity of the arrow rain.

Only those above the Seventh Realm could break through such dense arrow rain; others could not break out.

Ye Liuyun kept the Warship pushing inward; aside from some central families that activated defensive Formations, many ordinary buildings inside the city were razed flat.

"Siege!"

Ye Liuyun finally gave the order.

The first assault force consisted of ordinary soldiers bearing shields in a defensive formation, followed by archers; then Ye Liuyun led Martial Cultivators behind these troops, trying to have the regular soldiers draw out the enemy's Martial Cultivator elites.

As the soldiers began the siege, the Murong Clan disciples could no longer hide, and many low-level Martial Cultivators were shot dead by the archers.

When Murong Clan experts appeared, Ye Liuyun sent his own Martial Cultivator masters to meet the enemy, while the soldiers immediately fell back to avoid the aftershocks of the masters' combat.

These masters, inside the city, had nothing to hold back and fought without restraint.

Even buildings protected by defensive Formations could not withstand their bombardment.

Very quickly, aside from the city walls, the rest of Sifang City became flat ground.

The people beside Ye Liuyun also joined the fight, especially An Ying and Xuan Wu, who killed the most Murong Clan disciples.

The clone also stayed beside Ye Liuyun, cloaked in an Invisibility Cloak, watching for any undisclosed Trump Card from the Murong Clan.

Just as Ye Liuyun's side gained overwhelming superiority and prepared to exterminate the remaining Murong Clan Martial Cultivators and Murong Changfeng, Murong Changfeng let out a long howl: "Invite the Ancestor!"

After his shout, he used a Defense Artifact to shield himself and those nearby.

"Scatter!"

Ye Liuyun instantly sensed that danger was about to arise.

At that moment, a zombie burst from the underground of the razed Murong Clan stronghold!

"Is this the Ancestor of the Murong Clan?

These descendants are truly unfilial; the Ancestor has been turned into a zombie!"

When Ye Liuyun saw it was a living being, he relaxed.

He still harbors resentment toward the Murong Clan in his heart.

In fact, he doesn't know that this old ancestor, after its lifespan ended, voluntarily let its descendants refine it into a zombie.

After being refined into a zombie, it lost its mind and kills anyone it sees!

Therefore, the Murong Clan will not summon it unless a crisis arises.

This old ancestor zombie, however, is of the Ninth Layer Summit realm.

When it appears, even its ferocity alone makes the Martial Cultivators around Ye Liuyun fearful.

"Sss!"

The zombie let out a strange sound from its throat, lifted its nose to sniff, and prepared to charge toward Ye Liuyun.

Suddenly, a Technique shot out from beside Ye Liuyun, directly striking the zombie's head.

"Zzz"—the zombie's head instantly melted away, leaving only its body, which fell to the ground with a "Thump".

The Technique continued forward, piercing the Defense Array behind it belonging to Murong Changfeng and others; any strong Martial Cultivator that the Technique's light touched was instantly melted, leaving a huge hole.

"Kill!"

At Ye Liuyun's command, his Martial Cultivators, seeing that zombie was so easily destroyed, immediately launched another assault.

Murong Changfeng wasn't hit by the Technique a moment ago, but he didn't expect that his Trump Card hadn't even killed a single enemy before being taken down by the opponent.

"What is this treasure?"

He was secretly startled.

If Ye Liuyun's treasure can keep attacking, they would all be doomed.
